    I agree that this recommendation is silly, but it is the last one at the end of a long list, so the post title is not a good representation of what the article is about.

    We were told the cloud was supposed to be a „forever“ memory device. Nothing forgotten. We uploaded our lives to it. Then companies proceeded to gain massive benefits from our data, from profiling us for advertising to training their „AI“ models.

    I am guessing the corporations have extracted all the value they can now. Those sentimental memories are now just burning a hole in their pocket. So, people, give them up as we did the commons. These poor corporations need all their compute power back so they use AI to replace as many jobs as possible.

    Kind of incredible that they haven’t taken this down. You can just imagine the brainstorming session that came up with it.
